Because it's cleaner :) The thing you must remember is that ANAY request tht start with /cocoon/ is sent to COCOON. If in cocoon/myapp/index.html (wich is generated by cocoon), you have a relative link "myscript.js", the browser will ask the web server for cocoon/myapp/myscript.js. The server know that all cocoon/** url are handle by cocoon, so it ask Cocoon (the servlet) for "myapp/myscript.js", because it doesn't know that "myapp/script.js" must be processed differently from myapp/index.html.
So what you must do is have a cocoon pipeline that match *.js and send (via a reader) the .js file. Since you want it to be clean, you put all the .js's in a myapp/js directory. Now you understood, you can do the same for *.gif, *.bmp, *.doc, ... Another way to serve .js is to use an URL wich is out of the /cocoon/* path (ex : use an absolute path to http://myserver/js/toto.js, so cocoon won't be concerned by the request) hope it's clearer (i doubt :) fabien. >-----Message d'origine----- >De: Rajeev Singh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Date: mercredi 29 mai 2002 13:38 >À: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Objet: RE: Include external javascript file > > >I have a silly question, >Why do we put {1}.js in js/{1}.js ? > > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Bert Van Kets [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 1:49 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: Include external javascript file > >You must add a pipeline for every filetype you wish to call in your >application. > >Put your *.js files in the "js" directory and add the >following to your >pipelines > > <map:match pattern="*.js"> > <map:read src="js/{1}.js" mime-type="text/javascript"/> > </map:match> > >Now you can call any external javascript file directly, but it will be >served from the js directory. >Adjust to your liking. >Bert > >At 12:54 28/05/2002 -0700, you wrote: > >>A cocoon newbie question: >> >>I am trying to include a javascript function from an external >.js file >>into my xsl stylesheet. >> >>I have the following in the xsl stylesheet: >> >><head> >>... >><script src="cold_reverse_script.js" language="javascript" ></script> >> >></head> >> >>The file cold_reverse_script.js is in the same directory as the xsl >>stylesheet & contains javascript code for a single function: >> >>-------------------------------------------------------------- >--------- >------------------ >> >>function cold_reverse_search_criteria() { >> >>javascript code ..... >> >> } >>-------------------------------------------------------------- >--------- >----------- >> >> >>I have this entry in my sitemap: >><map:match pattern="**.js"> >> <map:read src="{1}.js" mime-type="text/jscript"/> >></map:match> >> >>(I've also tried "text/javascript"). >> >>However, this does not work.
